Answer 1

Install Symfony/debug using composer require symfony/debug and add these lines before Silex\Application instance

use \Symfony\Component\Debug\ErrorHandler;
use \Symfony\Component\Debug\ExceptionHandler;
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
error_reporting(-1);
ErrorHandler::register();
ExceptionHandler::register();

Answer 2

Try this:

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Debug\ErrorHandler;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Debug\ExceptionHandler;

// set the error handling
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(-1);
ErrorHandler::register();
if ('cli' !== php_sapi_name()) {
  ExceptionHandler::register();
}

// init application
$app = new Silex\Application();

// set debug mode
$app['debug'] = true

$app->run();

it's important to set the error handling before initialize the $app.
